Free Fish Windsock Printable

The leaves are turning colors! The
temperatures are finally headed toward a comfortable range! Could it
be that we're returning to autumn!? SO excited!

As promised, I wanted to share with you
this free printable for our fish windsocks. The breeze has been just
right for these lately! After the little ones saw a few of these in
shop windows, they started begging us to get one. But we decided to
do one better and make them ourselves! They loved making their fish
exactly how they wanted them and even deciding where they wanted all
the fins on the sides. All through the day they report on how
quickly their fish are “swimming” through the winds!

As for method, simply color in the print out as desired and tape strips of streamer (crepe) paper along the bottom of the uncolored side. Roll so short ends are just overlapped and tape down. With a scissors or hole puncher, make two small holes just above each the eyes though which to tie off a length (mine was about 18") of yarn or string. Then you may choose to tape on extra fins on the sides as my little ones did.

As I've had so much interest in my
other Sunday School printables (see Babel and Daniel), I just couldn't help but think that
this could make such a great project for a class, sometime. Although
I haven't used it yet, I feel like there are so many stories you
could tie in with fish: Jonah, the feeding of the 5,000, fishers of
men, creation, the symbol of the early church. We're starting up our
regular classes after the summer break, and now I really want to find
a way to tie these in! =)

About Me

Hi! I am a born-and-raised NW Washintonian, schooled in Oregon, became a nurse and then a mother in Alaska, and have just relocated back to Oregon where we hope to settle and raise our children (and some critters and gardens as well!) I've seen God work through me through his amazing wild world and feel honored to exist in the Creator's beautiful, natural creation. I want to allow my kids to experience this as well and learn from all natures complexities and simplicity. Adventures from the wilds of Alaska to great storybooks await!
